4 Strange ABSENCE of Life.

Another peculiarity Of the Saguenay,
which adds TO its impressiveness, is the
absence-tAe almost total absence-of life
upon it. Fer forty miles the yacht sailed
on between its mountainous sides, and
from the mouth to Cape Eternity, save
the white porpoises near the entrance,
never saw q bird or fish or animal of any
kind. 1t was in truth solemn sail. The
pilot said scarcely word during the en-
tire passage, and ] sat at the helm and
steered, silently looking. The wind was
strong, blowing straight up between the
lofty sides as through funnel with the
force CT half q gale, and the yacht raced
through the black water, leaving long
wake Of white froth astern: but being
sharp ct the stem ard narrow in her lines
she cut the dark current like knife,
noiselessly. Once thought I saw SEALS
head, but it vanished and was not sure,
and in all that forty miles of flight, wind
driven, with the August sun shining
brightly in the sky, saw no gull flying
overhead, no loon upon the water, no
hawk Or eagle circlng above tie lofty
cliffs. nor any animal, whether small or
great, moving along the shores. Surely,
it was strange sail, and | could only look
and marvel at re solitude through which
l was so noiselessly passing.-W II II.
